Ready to deliver accurate, well-controlled balance sheet reconciliations across high-volume financial processes?
As an Analyst, you’ll join a high-impact finance team that protects balance sheet integrity ensuring accuracy and completeness. Sitting at the centre of financial control, the team connects fast-moving transactional activity with financial reporting, ensuring the numbers are consistent, reliable and trusted. You’ll support daily and weekly balance sheet reconciliations across core processes such as sales to cash, payroll and debtors.
You’ll own the end-to-end delivery of balance sheet reconciliations, managing high-volume transactions, resolving exceptions and keeping issues moving. You’ll strengthen controls while also driving smarter ways of working through greater efficiency, consistency and automation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
